PositiveThe Times (UK)When it works, it really does work. When Moran fixes her sights on problems that require urgent solutions, such as the effect that constant pornography saturation has on the brains of boys, she is absolutely note-perfect ...

Extended proximity to the source material has meant that Hanks writes about this stuff with real affection.
